Lawdable : Cost-Effective & Flexible Legal Solutions for Corporate Legal Departments & Law Firms : Cost-Effective & Flexible Legal Solutions for Corporate Legal Departments & Law Firms: Counsel On Call

If you're looking for a clear vision of how data/records management and the discovery processes should operate, there are few more qualified voices in our profession than Martha A. Mazzone, vice president and associate general counsel of the legal department of Fidelity Investments in Boston.

Marty recently participated in a podcast with LegalTalk Network's In-House Legal show that is very insightful. Her interview picks up at the 13:30 mark. Note: A partial transcript of Marty's interview can be read here.

If you haven't seen Marty speak before, this is a good opportunity to get a glimpse behind the curtain of the discovery processes of a large company that handles a significant amount of data. For Marty and Fidelity, processes are centered around the ability to efficiently access the "five to ten" pieces of data that are going to make the difference in a case.

LegalTalk Network's In-house Legal program has asked Counsel On Call to participate in three podcasts. The first of these is available now: 'How In-house Departments Can Save 20%,' featuring Jane Allen. Jane discusses different areas of savings and different approaches -- and debunks myths about what has to happen to cut 20% out of a legal budget.

The other interview on the podcast is Rees Morrison from the Law Department Management Blog, who provides good insight into the challenges legal departments are facing.

The show is also available on iTunes for free download - just search for 'in-house legal.'

Jane's interview starts at the 12:35 mark and runs approximately 10 minutes. Subsequent shows in the three-part series will focus on e-discovery and the rest of the discovery/litigation support process, as it is certainly an area we're speaking to a lot of clients about. We hope you'll listen in and let us know what you think.
